Texas Tails....

Lacie here! As some of you know I was supposed to have a date with Scooter this Saturday down in Texas....but his mom isn't feelin' well so Sunny said the date was cancelled. (Sunny is a helper doggie for her mom so she calls the shots...) BUT I was already almost there...so as I had my nurse's kit, I thought I could help Sunny nurse her mom. Hmm....as nursing instructors....Sunny is very strict. (Think Agatha or Asta Oz on STEROIDS....) Strict makes me nervous......but I digress...



Look at this pic of Sweet Scooter while we were watchin' the rodeo on TV...isn't he 'dorable????

I told Sunny my uniforms were a tad short, so she made me change into scrubs before my shift started....this rodeo is fascinating...sorta like when we ride Babystan around the yardie......

Look how thoughtful...Scooter had corndoggies out for us to snack on...and a squirrel for me to play with...thought it best not to mention I USED TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE...he had some sorta mysterious internal explosion...these corny dogs are delish!!! Got any more ketchup, Scooter????

Now Sunny was very very tense (she's sooooo Type A)....I thought it best to provide her with one of my famous relaxin' smoothies to get her in a state of Chillaxin'....so she could find her inner zen and all...I knew I'd take fab care of her mom IF SHE DIDN'T MAKE ME SO NERVOUS.....

HMMMMMMM....sorta looks like another one of Lacie's blender casualties????? Oh well...it happens.....

I prodded her with my paw...hmm...not much of a response...I made sure she was lyin' on her side....you know...so her airway is patent and all....I'm pretty sure Sunny is well on her way to straightenin' out her ying and yang... thinkin' it might be a good idea to have A LOT of black coffee in the morning........

Oh my...look at Scooter...here I am tryin' to get him to get up on his bed so I can tuck him in before I go and do my midnight vital signs on his mom.....I'm yellin' at him, but he's yawnin' so big he can't hear me.....

Actually, I think the shift went pawsome...Scooter slept all night in his bed, Sunny snored er rested comfortably and their mom said she had never felt so refreshed...(I did give her the remainder of what was left in the blender after Sunny finished going at it with the straw.) My my....their mom was gigglin' and chattin' away for about 15 seconds, then sorta looked dazed and fell asleep.

It seemed prudent to LEAVE VERY EARLY...I waited until I heard Sunny puttin' on her scrubs for the 0700 shift...(I had taped shift report...yes...I know that JACHO is very strict with transferring of care of the patient...) made sure the coffee was ready and hightailed it outta there!

Ahh....as pretty as Texas is, I missed the green grass of Pennsylvania....bet those Mustangs down there would love munchin' on our yardie....

Scooter...just let me know when our date is gonna be rescheduled, OK???? And have Sunny work on achieving a calm relaxed state.....
